Team News
Manchester United
Man United will be without the services of a number of first-team players on Saturday, with Marcus Rashford, Alex Telles, Dean Henderson, Jesse Lingard, Phil Jones, Eric Bailly and Amad Diallo all definitely out.
Edinson Cavani will also not feature, having been given extra time off following his involvement in this summer's Copa America, meaning that Anthony Martial should be given the nod through the middle.
Solskjaer has confirmed that Sancho will make his debut against Leeds, but it seems more likely that the England international will start on the bench before potentially appearing in the second period. Varane, though, will not be involved, as the defender's deal has not yet been finalised.
Nemanja Matic has impressed during pre-season and could get the nod alongside Fred in midfield, while Paul Pogba, Fernandes and Greenwood are likely to support Martial in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Matic, Fred; Pogba, Fernandes, Greenwood; Martial
Manchester United pre-season form: WLDW
Leeds United
As for Leeds, Bielsa confirmed during Thursday's pre-match press conference that Firpo is available following a knock, and the new arrival is expected to start at left-back.
Jamie Shackleton has also been passed fit, but Diego Llorente will miss out due to a leg complaint, meaning that Robin Koch could line up alongside Liam Cooper in the middle of the defence.
Stuart Dallas and Rodrigo Moreno could get the nod alongside Kalvin Phillips in midfield, with Raphinha and Harrison providing the wide support to centre-forward Patrick Bamford.
Leeds United possible starting lineup:
Meslier; Ayling, Koch, Cooper, Firpo; Raphinha, Dallas, Rodrigo, Phillips, Harrison; Bamford
Leeds United pre-season form: WDLLLD
Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Leeds United
